It’s officially that time of year, summertime aka lake season. Whether you grew up going up north to the lake, or have only been a few times. That feeling you get, sitting on the dock, letting the sunshine hit your face, hanging out on the boat, listening to music. No feeling in the world will compare to that. Here’s a list of things you will definitely understand if you’re a lake-goer.

1. Pulling up to the lake house and getting so antsy to put your bathing suit on and jump in.

You’ve never unlocked the door faster and changed so quickly. Unpacking the car can wait.

2. Waking up in the morning, feeling completely relaxed and excited to start your day.

That morning cup of coffee on the dock. Feeling ready to get right back on the water.

3. Uncovering the boat and putting all of the lawn furniture out, in preparation for a wonderful day in the sun

Even through all of the spiderwebs, and dust, you don’t care, because look at where you are.

4. Eating way too many hotdogs/burgers and drinking way too much beer.

It's the lunch and dinner of choice, almost every day.

5. Waving to all the neighbors who drive by on their boats.

It’s mandatory.

6. Getting pissed off at the guy who speeds by you on a jet ski while you're in a kayak.

Dude, I’m about to go over

7. If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down.

Don’t mess it up!

8. Bathing in the lake with a bar of soap.

It’s not as bad as it sounds!

9. Smelling like the bonfire, sunscreen, or bug spray 24/7.

If not one of them, then all of them!

10. Running out of gas in the middle of the lake.

Jump your ass in and paddle!


11. Spending time with your best friends and family!

No other feeling in the world will compare. Relaxing, laughing and having a good time!


This summer make it a point to bring your butt up and have yourself a nice lake weekend. It’s a place to let all your worries melt away, and just be!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
